This morning garbage trucks were
circling the flies, who were circling
each other.

The pond flows in around and out
of itself; the molecules it takes as
its own are minerals of primordial
rain: Hot!

Orpheus is the model that forged
the mold and the voice that sang

itself and gave life to itself, in
the words, in its rhythms and
in its beats, his voice stops a
mind, in its tracks: footprints

where missiles fly,
walk in around out
of themselves.
